Money matters

Are you having trouble making ends meet or are you worried about money, for example because you lost your job or because you and your partner broke up? Are you worried about money because of high energy prices, the benefits scandal or something else? Or do you find it difficult to get an overview of your administration?

We are happy to help you get a better grip on your finances. We can also put you in touch with organizations that can assist you further.

Frequently asked questions

We would like to look at your income and expenditure with you. Together we will ensure more insight into your finances. We will also investigate together what is needed to prevent arrears in payments or debts.

Even if you have huge debts and can no longer pay your rent or mortgage, for example, we are happy to help you. Together with you and debt counselling, we look at how you can become permanently debt-free.    

Of course you are most welcome at the neighbourhood team, but the municipality of Utrecht is also happy to help you. For that, look at the following website pages: 

The Municipality of Utrecht has a special scheme for young people with debts who want to work on their future. One of the options the municipality offers is that it pays off your debts in full to the creditors. You then pay a monthly amount to the municipality and thus pay off your debt. Want to know if you can make use of this? Check the Municipality of Utrecht website.

 

Together with the Municipality of Utrecht, the neighborhood team offers 'broad' support to victims of the childcare benefits scandal and/or their children. For more information, please visit Toeslagenaffaire – Buurtteams Utrecht and/or Ik kom er zelf niet uit – Buurtteams Utrecht.
